This rice was discovered by me once googling around for a different kind of rice. The cilantro addition and the lemony flavor captured me. It was then I tried it - and it is so refreshing and delicious!! I believe it is originally from Mexico.. and it can be done as a side dish anytime. This is the second time I have made it. The first I did use lime just like it says, but this time I didn't find lime at the supermarket so I just used lemon instead and the taste was still delicious!

Add the rice and simmer for 5 seconds. Add the water and once it started to boil add the cilantro - some people leave adding the cilantro till the end but I love it this way. Add the salt and let it cook in low heat until the rice it finally cooked.

Once rice is done, add the lemon or lime juice and slowly mix it into the rice.

This post is about a very good tasting recipe we do at home. It involvesrollinga crepe and putfilling in the middle...This suggestion ismeatbut it issupertastystuffed withvegetables (tomatoes,courgettes,aubergine,onion)and alsowith cod.

This dish serves great as a side dish or even main one. Usually at home when I make it we have rice and salad next to it.

Method:Heat oil in a deep pan and fry for 5 minutes the onion and garlic. Pour in the beef and fry for around 5-8 minutes until cooked. Put in all the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and let them cook for a while.

Method:Mix everything in a large bowl.Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into a lightly buttered pan heated at medium.Tilt the pan and turn so that the mixture evenly coats the entire bottom of the pan.Cook the crepe until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes.Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Assembling the crepes:After cooking all crepes - open up one by one and pour in a thick line in the middle of the bolognese recipe. Fold from both sides inward and then roll the crepe. Do this to all and assembly each one next to the other.

You can pour on the crepes a little of the bolognese recipe on top if you have remaining. And sprinkle with cheese / mozzarella and Parmesan fit great.

I also add most of the times bechamel sauce on them - you can find the recipe here
